...last week's advance. On the New York Stock Exchange, the Dow-Jones industrial average rose 6½ points this week, a gain of 40 points from its seven-year low of 744 on Jan. 30. The rally has been notable for its lack of speculative froth. Many glamour stocks have behaved erratically, up one day, down the next, while blue chips have surged ahead. General Motors, for example, gained $3 a share last week and long-depressed General Electric...
...Even sisters bound by solemn vows of chastity "until death" have been able to get dispensations with relative ease. And for a girl trained as a teacher or nurse, the transition to secular status was relatively painless. Leaving today "is a simple matter," says Midge Turk, college editor of Glamour magazine and an Immaculate Heart sister until 1966. ''A nun writes to the Pope. says please-give-me-a-dispensation-because-I-can-no-longer-function-in-this-life, and she almost automatically gets a prompt notification of release from her vows."

IBM, for example, showed the first quarterly earnings dip in ten years, causing a pronounced decline in the stock and general disenchantment with other "glamour" shares. Early reports leave little doubt that overall corporate pretax profits dipped from the third quarter to the last quarter of 1969, probably about 1% on a seasonally adjusted basis. Standard & Poor's forecasts a significant decline in the first quarter of 1970, and Chase Manhattan Bank expects...
